As a child I thought I would grow up to become the first President of Europe. Although this is no longer the particular job I am pursuing, (which has nothing to do with the fact it does not exist), it does reveal a lot of things about me which have not changed. For example, I enjoy travelling. In fact, "enjoy" is an understatement. Most of my student loan has been spent on holidays and where most people go to the pub when they are stressed, I go to the airport and get on the first plane (provided it is not heading for Iraq or anywhere else where I may be at risk of decapitation).

Secondly I do like power and I will admit to adore being the centre of attention. For those of you already psychologically assessing this piece of information - yes, I am a middle child. Unfortunately I am the type of person who will answer "I don't mind" when asked where to go for lunch and then quite often object when someone else decides. However, sometimes I can be utterly passive and placid. This unpredictable quality may not have made for a good President but it can make for an interesting life.

Unlike most politicians I really do not approve of liars. Liars will be cut open, their internal organs whisked and fed to my cats. Incidentally I am a vegetarian and will not make any attempts to eat you or any other once living creature. I cannot always promise that I will be on time but I can swear to total honesty or your money back.

Another quality which makes me a poor candidate to run the world is my lack of interest in a sex scandal. There are better ways to meet someone than the internet if all you are interested in is a sexual fling. In my town these ways are called Walkabout, Jumpin Jaks and Mood.

Anyway, now that I am not wanting to rule on high I am studying drama and music. Like most people I would probably quite like to write a book at some point. For now I suppose I will be satisfied writing endless streams in website descriptions boxes.

There could be a much more to write here. I could give you my first childhood memory or the names of the various pet fish I have had; maybe a long list of my friends' names and addresses for the sake of validation. I'm not entirely sure they would appreciate the lack of privacy.

I suppose if you wanted to know more, you could always ask.

What I'm Looking For

As is everyone I am looking for a person I feel truly comfortable with. Someone who belives in friends, family, food, wine, theatre, cinema, art, animals, vegetarianism, a higher power (even if they don't know what it is), morals, literature, travel, aliens... Well, perhaps not aliens. Just someone who has an opinion on everything and, in the event that they don't, a willingness to accumulate one. I couldn't care less if you live in a big house or a small cardboard box on the M6. What led me to this website is that I am struggling performing arts student and I would like a good friend who could help me through those more painful financial times. I appreciate this makes me look like I am Satan. I am not looking for a free hand (although donations are always welcome) but someone I know I could turn to if need be. Someone who knows me and trusts me when I say the friendship is worth it, my studies are worth it, and the repayment once I graduate would be worth it.

PS. Did any of you married but looking people ever think you should go home to your spouses?
